Now for Case File no 151 and yes this is the one that goes for the whole month of January.

This Christmas I decided to have a " photo booth". I collected a heap of Christmas dressups and some not so festive. I hunted around for a couple of frames and DH painted them for me. We set up the camera on the tripod and put up the backdrop and let everyone take as many photos of themselves. I now have some fantastic photos to scrap and not one argument over having a photo taken. We will definitely be doing this again next year.

This is my very patient hubby (the scrap widower) with our little dog"Charli Girl" Charli Girl was not impressed with having to wear reindeer ears.

Love the "Grumpy Cat" Scene for this case file and I think my hubby's photo sorta depicts it perfectly.
Emma Stafrace did a great job on the sketch for this case too.www.theniftypixel.com.au

Now for the case file elements;The Scheme; All colours here.. bright sea-foam green, carnation pink, bright white, cream and grayish green.The Evidence; I used frames, pleating,triangles (mesh), cat/other animal, loops(testimony) something fuzzy and texture paste.The Testimony I hand wrote my testimony on my page and used the Inspiration Words. You can see the testimony looped around a white stamp on the background.There are 4 which say;1. Christmas Photo Booth 2014 Pat and Charli Girl2.Pat's not really grumpy, he loves to dress up.3. Pat was reluctant to dress up but loves the little hat4. Pat's not grumpy, that's his happy face

NOW FOR SOME CLOSE UPS AND DETAILS

I covered the paper with clear Gesso. I love the black stamping and inked all the chippies in black Memento ink. The ring around Charli Girl is the left over from a 2Crafty set.

Fussy cut out some flowers which gives a nice layer. You can see some plasterers mesh on the background.

Finally I was able to use my Tim Holtz die to cut out the rosettes

I tore the strips out down the page and then placed the paper on apainted piece of corrugated board. Love the effect on this one.

This is me

I am happily married with 3 grown children and 2 gorgeous litttle granddaughters. I live in the beautiful area of Lake Macquarie in NSW, Australia.

I started this journey in scrapbooking in early 2012 at the insistence of my BFF.

Since that time I have entered many online challenge sites and actually won some. I have been published numerous times in Australian scrapbook magazines and have had a 4 page feature, which was very exciting.

Early this year I was asked to teach at my local scrapbook store which I now do once a week.

I love to go on scrap retreats with my 2 travelling scrap sisters. I have met some absolutely amazingly creative ladies along the way and now have some wonderful friends in scrapworld.

I can't wait to see where this thing called scrapbooking takes me in the future and with my new motto of " be true to yourself" the sky's the limit.

I must say " thank-you " to my wonderful hubby who is not only a wonderful supporter but also my unwavering enabler.
